Sunday, February 17, 2008

Seed List as of 2/17

Atlantic 10- The A10 is starting to look a little more clear. Xavier is obviously the top team but after that it was hard to seperate St. Joe's, Rhode Island, Dayton, and Umass. Umass and Dayton have been struggling, but Dayton's key wins keep them in the bracket for now.

ACC- I would put my house down on the ACC receiving 4 bids. I can't see how they would get 5, unless an unlikely team runs the table in the conference tournament. Three bids seems unprobable also because of the ACC's number 1 Conference RPI. Duke, UNC, Clemson, and Maryland seem like safe bets. After Miami's road win at Georgia Tech, there computer numbers are improved, but I don't think there schedule will allow them to finish at a .500 conference record which would leave them out of the bracket.

Big 12- Baylor has lost 5 of 6 and have a tough week ahead with games at Oklahoma and home vs. Kansas State. They will need a split this week to feel completely safe, or this cinderella story could be coming to an end.

Big East- Connecticut now moved up to a 2 seed after that buzzer beater in OT vs. South Florida. The Huskies have won 9 straight and look for the Huskies to run the table the rest of the way and finish atop the Big East standings. Syracuse lost to South Florida on Wednesday and there NCAA hopes looked diminished. Then the Orange upset #8 Georgetown to remain in the bracket for now. They have the toughest schedule ahead out of any bubble team, which the Orange are looking at as an opportunity for more big wins. Syracuse needs to split this week @ Louisville and @ Notre Dame to have any sort of chance come Selection Sunday.

Big 10- I had Ohio State as the last team in entering Sunday, but the Buckeyes laid an egg at Michigan. Ohio State is 0-7 vs. the Top 1-50, but have Wisconsin, Purdue, Indiana, and Michigan State left on their schedule. Koufos and company can play themselves back into the field of 65 but it seems very unlikely at this point. Purdue has now won 11 straight, but I'm expecting the Boilermakers to come back down to earth this week @ Indiana.

Colonial- VCU and George Mason might have both loss there at-large chances on Saturday with both teams losing. The only way the CAA gets two bids is if VCU can run the table and lose in the CAA finals, which would make them a viable bubble team. One bid seems likely for the Colonial this year, however.

CUSA- Houston is the ultimate bubble team. I think I'm speaking for every "bracketolgist" when I say they wanted Houston to beat Memphis. This would give Houston a huge win and they would be an NCAA tournament team. (Kind of like how everyone will be rooting for Davidson in the SoCon tournament). With them losing, however, it's anyones guess on what the committee does with Houston, but for the meantime I say they are in, considering there are no bad loses on there resume.

Mountain West- BYU looks like the team everyone thought they would be in November or December. They crushed UNLV on Saturday and look like the clear cut favorite in the M. West now. UNLV also stays in the field as one of the "last teams in."

Pac 10- What to do with the Pac 10? It seems like every time a bubble team like Arizona State picks up a huge win, they lose their next game. The Pac 10 is so tough that I think a .500 conference record could be enough to get a team into the tourney. Arizona State and Oregon both are in this week because of their Top 1-50 RPI wins. Those are wins that other bubble teams they are competing with, don't have.

SEC- Mississippi is obviously in trouble with a 3-7 conference record. They look like they could be this year's Clemson, and there undeafeted Non-conference record could be wasted. Florida is also in danger of falling off the bubble.

Bracket form of this week's bracket will come out after the UCLA-USC game tonite.

1 Seeds- Memphis, Duke, Tennessee, Kansas

2 Seeds- North Carolina, Texas, UCLA, Connecticut

3 Seeds- Xavier, Georgetown, Purdue, Louisville

My Bracket Prediction Philosophy

The Bracket Matrix has split up predictions into two categories: Assume the Bracket Ends today and the Predicting the Future to make bracket. I am listed under the "assume the bracket ends today" category. This, however, isn't completely true. Alike many other bracketologists out their I mix the idea of the future in with team's present resumes. I wont make the prediction that a team will finish 4-4 and a 22-10 record and will make the tournament. Instead, I use what a team has done and mix that with how they are playing, how tough their games ahead are, etc. Also, conference winners are not teams who are currently in first, but instead are complete predictions.

Seeds as of 1/28

A couple notes: Massachusetts remains in the bracket, even though St. Joseph's remains out. St. Joseph's have beaten the Minutemen twice, but UMass' resume remains to strong to left out of the field. UMass is now skating on thin ice, as they can not afford to slip up in the A-10.

Syracuse is a true 12 seed, but could only be inserted as a 11 seed (8 Big East teams). They got the nod over a falling Villanova squad, even though Villanova holds the head-to-head matchup. Villanova is slumping at the moment and have a tough schedule ahead (including a huge "bubble" game Saturday vs. Syracuse). Syracuse is one of the last teams in even though there rotation has now shrunk to 6 players! Freshman guard Scoop Jardine has been suspended indefinitely by the University, which means Syracuse is now absent another player. It should be interesting to see if the Orange can stay afloat over the next couple weeks.

Arizona State remains after dropping both decisions to the Washington area schools this week. They played well against Washington State, however, and showed that they are for real in the Pac-10. They computer numbers at the moment are AWFUL. An RPI in the 90's and an SOS close to 200 will not look good on Selection Sunday. The Sun Devil's numbers should improve with Pac-10 play and that is why they remain in the field for the time being.

With that said, here are the Seeds to this weeks field. I currently have the field in bracket form but I'm having trouble moving it from Microsoft Excel to my blog. If anybody knows how I can insert a file from Excel into my blog that would be great! I hope to get the bracket out by later tonite.

Seed List through 1/12

I decided to make a seed list before Sunday's games today just to get a general idea where everyone stands. I think today's most important game is that of Syracuse @ West Virginia. Both teams are coming off a loss, Syracuse @ Cincy and West Virginia @ Louisville. As of right now I replaced West Virginia with Louisville, but a win against the Cuse today will put West Virginia back in the bracket and put Syracuse further on the bubble.

Another noticeable game today is that of Duquesne @ Rhode Island. Duquesne can further solidify a bubble resume with a win.

With that said, here is the seed list through Saturday's games. I'll put together a bracket tonight following the Duke-Virginia game.

1 Seeds- Memphis, North Carolina, Kansas, UCLA
2 Seeds- Washington State, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Duke
3 Seeds- Georgetown, Marquette, Michigan State, Indiana
4 Seeds- Butler, Dayton, Texas, Wisconsin
5 Seeds- Vanderbilt, Xavier, Pittsburgh, Mississippi
6 Seeds- Clemson, Arizona, Stanford, Saint Mary's
7 Seeds- Ohio State, Gonzaga, Arizona State, Drake
8 Seeds- Rhode Island, Miami (FL), Oregon, UConn
9 Seeds- Syracuse, Florida, Villanova, Oklahoma
10 Seeds- Notre Dame, San Diego State, Virginia, Baylor
11 Seeds- Kent State, Louisville, Illinois State, Arkansas
12 Seeds- St. Joseph's, Minnesota, BYU, South Alabama
